ios-release-tester

ios-release-tester is a skill for Codex from MartinPuli/createAnApp. It costs 73 tokens per session (747 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A release-testing workflow for an Apple app build across simulators, real devices, Sandbox, or TestFlight. It checks the complete release candidate, including functionality, purchases, stored data, accessibility, privacy settings, signing, and submission evidence.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to test builds on device sizes and operating systems, StoreKit purchases, migrations, imports and exports, permissions, VoiceOver, Dynamic Type, archives, signing, privacy manifests, and release screenshots.
Why use it?
A successful compile does not prove that an app works across supported devices or survives installation, upgrades, offline use, and real release conditions. This workflow creates evidence for deciding whether a particular build is ready.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

ios-release-tester scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 8d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 1 executable file (scripts/inspect_xcode_project.sh), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

iOS Release Tester

Test the commercial and operational lifecycle of the exact release candidate. A clean compile is only the first row of evidence.

Identify the candidate

Record commit, marketing version, build number, scheme/configuration, bundle ID, archive path, Xcode/SDK, supported devices, minimum OS, StoreKit product IDs, and metadata revision. Confirm Xcode/SDK eligibility against ../../docs/current-apple-requirements.md. Run scripts/inspect_xcode_project.sh <project-root> for a sanitized first pass.

Build the matrix

Cover:

  • clean build and complete automated suite;
  • smallest/largest supported devices and every declared family;
  • orientations and iPad multitasking/window widths if supported;
  • current release OS plus minimum supported OS where feasible;
  • clean install, upgrade/migration, termination/relaunch, offline, storage/error recovery;
  • core journeys, destructive actions, imports/exports, sharing, permissions, support/legal links;
  • VoiceOver, Dynamic Type, contrast, focus, keyboard/pointer/Pencil where promised;
  • privacy manifest, entitlements, SDK/network inventory, and permission strings;
  • release archive, signing, export validation, upload processing, TestFlight installation.
  • account creation/deletion, third-party login, UGC moderation, and regulated workflows when present.

Test StoreKit as a state machine

Layer evidence:

  1. Local StoreKit configuration: deterministic product/purchase/refund/expiration tests.
  2. Sandbox or TestFlight: real configured products and Apple account flow.
  3. App relaunch/offline: entitlement reconstruction and cache limits.
  4. Transaction change: renewal, cancellation at period end, billing retry/grace if used, refund/revocation, upgrade/downgrade.
  5. Restore: fresh install/device where feasible and clear no-purchase behavior.

Verify product identifiers, localized price/period, entitlement mapping, legal copy, close path, and access to paid value. Do not call local StoreKit proof “TestFlight tested.”

Changes

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
